BTS coming to Manila for concert

By JONATHAN HICAP, Manila Bulletin

K-pop boy band BTS, or Bangtan Boys, will be heading to Manila for a concert in December.

The seven-member K-pop group will be holding their first solo concert “2014 BTS Live Trilogy in Manila Episode II: The Red Bullet” on December 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena, according to Happee Sy of Pulp Live World Productions.

Tickets for the show will start selling on Oct. 18.

For a closer encounter with the band, fans may opt to buy into the Pulp Royalty program, which will give them a “high touch” experience with all BTS members a day before the concert and be in front of the stage on the day of the show.

BTS, composed of Suga, Jin, J-Hope, Rap Monster, Jimin V and Jungkook, debuted in the music scene in June last year with the album “2 Cool 4 Skool.” They soon won the New Artist of the Year in the Melon Music Awards and Best Rookie Award in the Seoul Music Awards.

This year, the boys bagged the Newcomer Award in the Golden Disk Awards, New Artist of the Year in the Gaon Chart K-pop Awards and Rookie Artist of the Year in the Yin Yue Tai V Chart Awards in China.

BTS is currently nominated for Best Korean Act in the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Last August, BTS released their new album “Dark & Wild,” which contains 14 songs including the track “Danger.”

BTS will hold their “Red Bullet” concert in Korea on October 17 to 19.
